    Hi i’m trying to get the date, author and excerpt in the magazine element, but I can’t find out how. I’ve seen some posts, but the codes that you guys have provided in those posts are outdated.

    The magazine shows the date by default, but I want to add the author to that part. Also I want to show the excerpt under the title. Like 60 characters or something. (i’m sure I can modify that after you guys gave me the code)

    Thanks!! I know my abi @Yigit can do this. hahah

    Yours Faithfully, Abos

    Hey Abosict,

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Please add this code to display the author.

    .av-magazine-text-sep, .av-magazine-author {
    display: inline;
}

    For the excerpt, edit the config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > magazine.php file, look for this code around line 647:

    if(empty($this->atts['thumbnails']))
				{
					 $image = "";
					 $extraClass = "av-magazine-no-thumb";
				}

    Below, add this code:

    $excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    It looks correct. Could you please provide a link to the page where you’re testing this? Provide the login details as well.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the info.

    Please look for this code.

    if($excerpt)$output .=		"<div class='av-magazine-content entry-content' {$markupContent}>{$excerpt}</div>";
			$output .= 		"</div>";

    Replace it with:

    $output .=		"<div class='av-magazine-content entry-content' {$markupContent}>{$excerpt}</div>";
			$output .= 		"</div>";

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hey!

    Are you using the advance layout builder for the posts content? If you are, edit the posts then specify the excerpt manually. Please post the FTP details here and we’ll check it.

    Thanks it works, but can you explain what you did? And how can I shorten the length of the excerpt?

    Hi!

    I did the suggestions above. For the excerpt, use the “excerpt_length” filter. 

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
        return 20;
 }
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

    Cheers!

    Hello,

    I am having a similar issue to Abosict. I’ve added the code to magazine.php and the excerpts aren’t displaying on my magazine layout. Ideally we would like to have magazine.php in our child them, but I’m trying to get the excerpt to appear first and then I’ll follow your recommendations in http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/add-new-or-replace-advanced-layout-builder-elements-from-child-theme/.

    Would you be able to take a look?

    I’m following this advice and I have everything working, but where do I place the excerpt length function to make it work?

    Every place I’ve pasted it in the php file just causes the page that the magazine element is on to be stuck with the loading circle – and never loads.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    NEVERMIND. It was only showing a little because I didn’t have the excerpt in the blog post.
